Meet the Sennheiser HD 800 S

Sennheiser 800 Series headphones are made with a singular goal: The pursuit of perfect sound. It redefines the listening experience. It’s capable of breaking the barrier between audio recording and playback equipment connecting the listener directly to an artist’s original performance.

The Ring Radiator transducer is central to the exceptional performance of the HD 800 S. This 56 mm diameter driver is the largest in dynamic headphones. The 40 mm voice coil is driven by a 42 mm magnet structure.

The open back design architecture contributes to exceptional clarity, detail and dynamics Angling the transducers forward of the listener ears helps deliver a wide and open spatial presentation unlike any other headphone Sennheiser’s absorber technology absorbs unwanted resonance energy smoothing high frequency response while enhancing low frequency extension to deliver an exceptional musical presentation

Features

Ergonomic Ear Cups

Innovative, ergonomically designed ear cup frame is crafted of Leona, an ultra-lightweight, non-resonant material with titanium like strength. Stainless steel mesh protects the transducers. Both contribute to wearing comfort and acoustic performance.

Damped Headband

The metal headband is ‘sandwiched’ between several layers of resonance dampening polymers to eliminate unwanted vibrations from being transmitted to the headphone mountings and ear cups.

Luxurious Ear Cushions

High quality, easy to maintain and durable microfiber ear pads provide extreme comfort ensuring hours of listening pleasure.

Ring Radiator Transducer

The patented 56 millimeter ring radiator transducers are the largest dynamic driver used in a headphone. It delivers rich, full sound and reduced distortion by effectively controlling the oscillating surface.

Two Cables Included

Two impedance matched, low capacitance cables are included, one terminated with a 6.3 millimeter connector, the other with 4-pin XLR balanced to take full advantage of balanced output capability of amplifiers like the HDVD 800.

Made in Germany
